Changing the rings-to-answer setting When the answer mode is set to Automatic, the all-in-one rings-to-answer setting determines the number of times the telephone rings before the all-in-one answers an incoming call. If the all-in-one is connected to a line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that also uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of rings-to-answer for the all-in-one must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call. When the answering machine answers the call, the all-in-one listens to the call and automatically answers it if it detects fax tones. The default setting for rings-to-answer is five for the U.S. and Canada, and two for other countries/ regions. Using the rings-to-answer setting Use the following table to determine the number of rings-to-answer to use.
